Athletic Mic League- Get Go

It has been awhile since I heard rumors that Athletic Mic League were back together for another album (supposed to be called Jungle Gym Jungle?). I still remember the night in my dorm room in 2000-2001 (Napster era) when I first came across their Lyrictricity 12". Here is the first leak, as well as some background info I snatched from one of my ancient blog posts at another site.

The six emcees of Athletic Mic League came together while still attending high school in Ann Arbor, MI. Known then as the Anonymous Clique: Buff, 14KT, Grand Champ, Texture, Tres Styles, and Vital joined forces with DJ Haircut and after two years of love and support from the local hip-hop community they made it official. Athletic Mic League was out to show the world what their brand of hip hop was all about.

By 1998 AML had blessed high school talent shows, house parties, and hip hop nights across Detroit. Following up with their underground classic demo The Thrill of Victory, The Agony of Defeat, the buzz grew to deafening levels. In 1999 they settled in Jersey City, quickly building their reputation and skills in the neighboring New York hip-hop scene.
